DHS Proposes Significant New OPT Fees

Consider writing about:

A proposed rule released on Oct. 7 by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security; what the proposed rule, if implemented, would mean for foreign students, for the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program, for schools, and for employers; what to know about F-1 visas, related rights for individuals, how the OPT program works, and the program’s history and practical significance. What should students, schools, or employers be doing to prepare for the likely implementation of this proposed rule?
